A narrative from a parent's nightmare

Kelley Benham French’s series about her child's premature birth and struggle to live wins praise from Nieman Storyboard: "Care went into every sentence but not in any precious look-at-me-I’m-a-Writer way. French’s sentences do every kind of work: They shock and lull and devastate and soothe, and at just the right moment, and in just the right way. Every sentence serves the narrative. Every sentence earned its right to be there, and belongs."
